frail mica
I got a Shelly 1 Mini Gen3 with the hopes of converting my dumb doorbell into a smart one.
From what I understand the L and N ports would be wired to my transformer ports (Standard US 16v AC). One of the doorbell wires would be wired via wingnut to a wire from the shelly SW so it can detect doorbell presses.
I ran into two separate issues:
1.) Transformer power isn't enough to allow bluetooth or wifi so I am unable to configure it. It sounds like I need to figure out a way to provide the shelly with appropriate power.
2.) The doorbell chime buzzes in this setup so I had to disconnect the Shelly to stop that. It appears that I will need a bypass module that I wire to the chime terminals directly to shunt the small current the Shelly lets through.
Does anyone have recommendations as far as the power and bypass module goes that I can get easily in the US online?
